wow your worried? do you know how much i and fellow east costers would cream them selves if it snowed that much for that long.

west coasters need to be more grateful, spend a week out here and then see how much you appreciate all that snow.

ok so he said the runs that are open are decent packed powder that theyre maintaining pretty well. not really any BC open yet. snowmaking is progressing well and they havent lost any base or anything, so theyre retaining most of the little bit of snow they've been getting.

supposedly good news: theres supposed to be a bigass storm coming in tomorrow and saturday. he's hoping for a foot or more, so that should help things out significantly, especially if it manages to settle and there's another dump before you get there.

i dont see anything on the radar yet, but forecasts are calling for similar conditions all the way through the rockies tomorrow, so keep an eye on it

headed out there with friends on the 21st but actually staying in targhee - it is another resort in the tetons maybe an hr and a half or so from jackson. they are 100% open as of today, so if worse comes to worse and stuff is still looking slim in jackson, you could always day trip it to targhee while staying in jackson.
